I've used the Novopen 3, Novopen Jr., and FlexPens.

The Novopen Jr.'s feature is half-unit increments, but the disadvantage of the NovoPens is their bulkiness and weight. I've even had one yanked from my pocket from a person looking to "borrow" my pen! Also, when you "rewind" your insulin dose (if you dialed up too much), you have to pull the device apart in order to lower the dose, or else, insulin will be expelled. Not a big problem. I think this "issue" was resolved in the Novopen 4, though (Brion??).

The thing about the FlexPen is that you can toss it out when you're done with it! One bad thing is that they cost more than the cartridges used for refilling the Novopen, and obviously, the environmental waste for tossing out the entire pen, instead of just a small cartridge.
